JUDGE HARRY WHITE, OF Indiana,
attended the reunion OF canal boatmen
OF the old Pennsylvania canal at Blairs-
Vile on yesterday week, and In an after
dinner address to the large crowd pres
ent reiterated his belief that she Kiski-
miuetas and Conemaugh rivers would at
some time in the future become naviga-
BILE by slackwater. When Harry was
in Congress and wanted to make sure of
his reelection, ne impressed this pre-
posteIouS slack water scheme upon that
body TO the extent of getting an appro-
priaticn Of 500, 900 inserted in the River
aud HaTUcr Bill, To def-sy the expense
OF survey TO demonstrate its ieasibil:-
~. The survey was m4de-the money
expended. and that was the end CT il.
In addition TO the slackwater navigation
which would terminate near WllmoTe,
in this county, the scheme contemplated
the excavation OF tunrel for the pass
age OF large boats, from that place
through the mountain 10 a point west
of Hollidsysburg where it would con-
meet with the Juniata, also to be slack
watered, and in this way boats were tC
be taken from Pittsbu-g to Chesapeake
bay. No man outside OF a lunatlc
asylum ever conceived a project more
utterly absurd and ridiculous.

As the facts concerning the so-called
outbreak OF the Ute Indians bagiu 10 be
asceTtained, it is plainly TO be seen that
tie trouble was not brought on by the
Indians at all, but was commenced ty
cowboys ard others OF that stripe who
cared more for the ponies Of the Utes
than they did for the peace OF Colorado.
80 far all the testimony goes to show
that there were no sggressiOns on the
part OF the red men, but they all pro-
ceeded from the whites. The latter
were the attacking party and the skir-
mish that took place two weeks ago
grew out of a bare faced attempt at
horse stealing. In view OF all shis. the
efforts of the Colorado utborities TO in
duce the government at Washington TO
take hand in Furnishing the Utes for
outragss they never committed is any-
thiLg but creditabls. 1t is the same old
story that has been at the bottom of
nearly every tronble that has taken
place between the Indians and their
white plunderers.

IoSDoS. SEPT. S.-The letter con-
tanning the invitation to Mr.. Gladstone
to attend tbe centennial celebration CT
the adoption of the American Coustitu-
tion at Philadelphia was signed by
Messers. Kasson, Little, Carson and
Cochrane, for the committee.
Mr.. Gladstone was invited as the guest
of the committee and he was informed
ty the gentleman who conveyed to him
The invitation that it was the only one
sent to any person not an American cltl-
zen or an accredited diplomat, the e.
ceptiOn n his case being intended as an
express recognition of the historical Ties
winch bound Great britain and America
before the Declaration of Independence.
lie was also assured that he would be
allowed to make whatever arrangements
he pleased and would be entertained IN
America as no man has been since The
visit of Gen. Lafayette.
Mr.. Gladstone made reply TO the let
ter and assured the COMMITTEES or the
great honor he felt 10 receiving an lnvl-
tation 10 the celebration OF the centena-
nv of the American Constitution HIS
letter continues
"rhe attractions of the invitation are
enhanced to me by the circumstance

tuition as the most remarkable work

DESSIs SEARSEY who was a power
IN California politics few years ago,
but who EpddentIy disappeared from
public view, is about TO make his ap-
pesrance In New York city and, as is
gwen ont, explode n bomb-shell under
Henry George, The anti Poverty prophet.
George was a former citizen of San
Francisco where Dennis was the beloved
orator OF the "Sand lots - and it is said
that he has papers and documents in his
possession which will show up George
and demonstrate that be Is not the angel
that he Is now regarded by his followers.
/. Dennis still carries with him the same
dictionary from which he gathered the
choice epithets with which he so liberal
ly garnished his speeches on the San
Francisco sand lots" he Will un.
doubtedly make the campaign very
interesting for Henry George. But
whether It will be useful or otherwise is
another and quite different question.

THE details OF Henry Georges fnan-
cial status as given by The New York
CoiErierciGL AduCrsiSsT are interest ing
and vouched for ss correct. That pa
per SAYS:
MI. George has come out about 80
600 ahead by his warfare on monoply.
At this time last year he Was not worth
$4,000. Now he is said to have go
600 OF $4,000. He has a very pretty
house on Pleasant avenue, n a fashion
able suburb, and lives quite n the vile
OF those blcated monopoIists whom he
denounces so freely. His books, which
had comparatively small sale before he
ran fcT mayer, have brought in 81. 600
or $3O.OOO in the last ten months. lie
also makes money from his paper, the
Standard. which was established on the
basis OF the celebrity he gained in the
msyorality contest. In fact, the i'm
pToyement In Mr.. Georges finances is
due directly TO his crusade against pov.
erty.
The same journal also describes Mr..
George IN his relation TO the labor hs
employs las close listed as the typical
monopolist, and his purse strings are
drawn tightly against poverty9s sp.
peals." He only deals with il in the
abstract. DIR. McGlynn is another sort
Of man, and Is charitable TO a fault.
The snti-poverty crusade, however, has
undoubtedly promoted the financial re-
sources or both, particularly Mr.. George.
They have abolished poverty in their
own cases, but who else has been bene-
hted Somebody has paid the piper.
Can 1t have been the hundreds Of thou
saEds OF poor believers, and II so are
they better OF in basket and store ?''

on land which varies in composition
and also varies as respects moisture
and degree of pulverization. Nothing
can take the place of human intelligence
in properly placing seed in soil that
varies in composition and IN mechanical
condition. The better the judgement
of the planter and the greater the care
exercised by him, the more satisfactory
will be the results obtained.
1t seems certain that sufficient atten-
ton is not given to the time of sowing
different kinds Of seeds, and especially
is this true in regard to seeds sown in
the garden. The proper distance for
placing different kinds of seed in the
ground should be determined by care
fully conducted experiments. That
the seed OF many sorts OF ptants faIi to
terminate is doubtlessly due to their
being buried too deep. Very small
seed may terminate if they are cover
ed to the same depth that corn and
field beans are, but in most cases their
sprouts will fail to reach the ground.
They will die in the ground, and most
likely a dealer will be blamed for sell
ing poor seed. To prevent small seeds
that are placed neal the surface of the
soil from blowing away or from becom.
ing too dry to terminate, the ground
should be made quite firm by the use
of a roller or some other implement.
If placed in hills or rows, the soil can
be made compact by the foot. Good re-
suits generally follow sowing small
seeds Immediately before the approach
of rain. The rain moistens the seeds,
assists in covering them, and in render
ing the soil sufficiently compact to
prevent it drying quickly. - chicago
